Is Roaccutane Causing my Depression?

Ok so I've been feeling rather depressed particularly over the past couple of months or so. I'm of course self-diagnosing myself as experiencing depression based on a depression-related website beyondblue.com.au which assesses that I'm suffering from moderate-level depression. It's hard to say when exactly this feeling all started or whether it is in fact caused by Roaccutane, but I currently have a persisting moody undercurrent where I don't really have interest in anything and feel that many things require a lot of effort where previously they didn't such as making a phone call.

This feeling is also making me feel very uninspired and uninterested at work. The way I've been feeling about work and at work, has probably been the greatest trigger that prompted me to explore whether I am suffering from depression. It's now just so hard to concentrate on my work and everything at work just seems such an effort, constantly watching the clock to hit 5pm and thinking of resigning. It's like I've stopped caring about work. But then again, doesn't a lot of wage-slaves feel like this too? So is this really depression I'm feeling?

With only about two and a half weeks left of my Roaccutane course, I can't see the depression getting much worse. It'll be interesting to see whether this feeling alleviates itself after I finish the course. Sure hope it does.

On the topic of how my folliculitis is going, I recently got a small spot appear on the top of my scalp. The top of the scalp is also feeling itchy again. The spot is healing itself and no others have appeared, so I hope it is just a one off thing. It makes me nervous that with only a short time until the course finishes I've got an itchy scalp and a spot, so here's hoping everything goes well the next two and a half weeks or so.
